Episode 42

Tuesday, July 21, 2026 • Duration 01:03:32

Larry Norman’s Only Visiting This Planet and In Another Land made some appearances - largely taken from the Larry Norman page on youtube - get in there, there’s so much more to tell!

I’ve never met her, but I’m around :) This is where I heard the post on this show. I better not find out anyone I know is being mean or SO HELP ME

Never met David Nihil either but I’ll bet he’s nice fella

And last but not least: Mike Rimmer’s interview from 2005 with Larry Norman is so apropos of the times it feels hacky. You really should check it out!

Thank you Billy Power, Matt Wilbur, Matt Kelly and the lovely Fifi.

Be good.

Kindess is cool

Greetings! Wait, whaaaaa? Just in time for the much-celebrated Twenty-SIX year anniversary of MxPX! Okay, so... obviously this is actually part deux of an episode we started last year, acknowledging 25 years of Left Coast Punk Rawk from the Bremertonians, which, though by a very circuitous route, I am happy to say is finally happening. Life is complicated - but you already knew that! Please, enjoy the conclusion to my conversation with these fellas, it was hard-fought and hopefully... won. I sincerely hope to be back with you soon. Let's ROCK!

Greetings! We are back with part 2 of my conversation with Randy Torres of NYVES and (formerly) Project 86 - and it's gonna get a little awkward. But don't worry Never Wases, we'll avoid the low hangin fruit. Mostly. Randy talks about the end of P86, the birth of NYVES and all sorts of other awesomeness. Enjoy!

Greetings! This week we return to traditional Never Was format: a two-part conversation with Randy Torres - doer of all sorts of amazing things, but most famously the original guitarist of Project 86. Randy and I talk life before, during & after Project and of course, all the good bits in between. Yep, we go NYVES to Water Socks. Yes, you read that right. As always: Turn it UP. Relax. Enjoy!

Greetings! The first ever Podcastrophe gets a much needed follow up - and how.

If you haven't listened to episode 29 yet, definitely do that before proceeding - we've made it available again, unedited and as raw as it ever was. Just know... this is here. Waiting. Ready to still the rage... or at least continue the conversation. We are joined by regular Never Was contributor, cherished friend and esteemed guest, Christopher Foley AND... we introduce a new friend: Jessica Fife! Lots of awesome to follow. Enjoy!

Greetings! Notice anything weird around here? Does anything seem slightly different? Yes? Well, that's because something IS DIFFERENT! Welcome the very first Never Was Podcastrophe!

YOU are the special guest. And everything shall be right in the world. What is this I speak of? Hit play and find out for yourself. Enjoy!

Greetings! Three old friends walk into a bar... well, two of them were smart enough to duck, the other one is writing this terrible joke. (Whatever- it wasn't even a bar anyway, it was some cheeky community office space thing) Yes, it's true, like a three-fold cord of grumpiness, Mike Lewis of Giving is Believing, Billy Power of Urban Achiever and yours truly all got together to solve all the world's problems, right before Christmas, in the Greatest City in the World. As you've probably been dealing with any number of those problems today.... why not hang around with us an find out why we didn't get much done? (Hint: GUNNNNZ) Come! Warm yourself by the fires of the Podcastalypse, weary Never Wases! Enjoy!

For the full 3 hours of this conversation, please join Mike at Giving is Believing and Billy at Urban Achiever for not only the full chat but also their own reflections on what we hope - but don't necessarily plan - is a regular thing. Gotta get started on our own traditions sometime - no better place than NYC, no better time than NOW!

Episode 27

Tuesday, December 29, 2015 • Duration 01:26:28

Greetings! Hey look... it's a new Never Was! 2015 marked the 25 year anniversary of an album largely unknown by the masses, and even by those students of passionate, artistic expression within Christendom: Sin Disease, the debut full length album from punk/alt rock pioneers, Scaterd Few (sic - but you should already know that) I spoke with Allan Aguire about the time period, the process and the experiences that went into this album so many years ago and the impact it had on me and so many others. Because this album was so important to me, I had to call in some backup: We'll hear from Sam West, former drummer of Scaterd Few and eventual drummer of Stavesacre and... Adam Again legend, will-o-wisp mystery solo-artisté and all around lovely person Riki Michele as well! LIGHTS OUUUUUUUT Enjoy!

Greetings! Where you been? Yes, I know. I know. Well, we return with one of our longest shows ever, so that should count for something! This week Matt Johnson is back, along with our good friend Mike Lewis and a few of you Never Wases, talking about... hidden messages, mysterious ways, flowers in the concrete; from the way followers of Jesus are portrayed in popular culture to why it doesn't really matter. Also: just where in the world I've been for the last two months. What does it all mean? GET IN THERE AND FIND OUT. Enjoy!
